General Guidelines
---- Nous avons besoin d'un traduction français!
Some Basics
1. Under Board "Frequently Asked Questions" (FAQs) there are 3 sections dealing with General Forum Usage, User Profile Features, and Reading and Posting Messages. These deal with everything from Avatars to Your Notifications. Most general technical questions are covered there. Here is a link to the FAQs. https://forum.chesstalk.com/help
2. Consider using the SEARCH button if you are looking for information. You may find your question has already been answered in a previous thread.
3. If you've looked for an answer to a question, and not found one, then you should consider asking your question in a new thread. For example, there have already been questions and discussion regarding: how to do chess diagrams (FENs); crosstables that line up properly; and the numerous little “glitches” that every new site will have.
4. Read pinned or sticky threads, like this one, if they look important. This applies especially to newcomers.
5. Read the thread you're posting in before you post. There are a variety of ways to look at a thread. These are covered under “Display Modes”.
6. Thread titles: please provide some details in your thread title. This is useful for a number of reasons. It helps ChessTalk members to quickly skim the threads. It prevents duplication of threads. And so on.
7. Unnecessary thread proliferation (e.g., deliberately creating a new thread that duplicates existing discussion) is discouraged. Look to see if a thread on your topic may have already been started and, if so, consider adding your contribution to the pre-existing thread. However, starting new threads to explore side-issues that are not relevant to the original subject is strongly encouraged. A single thread on the Canadian Open, with hundreds of posts on multiple sub-topics, is no better than a dozen threads on the Open covering only a few topics. Use your good judgment when starting a new thread.
8. If and/or when sub-forums are created, please make sure to create threads in the proper place.
Debate
9. Give an opinion and back it up with a reason. Throwaway comments such as "Game X pwnz because my friend and I think so!" could be considered pointless at best, and inflammatory at worst.
10. Try to give your own opinions, not simply those copied and pasted from reviews or opinions of your friends.
Unacceptable behavior and warnings
11. In registering here at ChessTalk please note that the same or similar rules apply here as applied at the previous Boardhost message board. In particular, the following content is not permitted to appear in any messages:
* Racism
* Hatred
* Harassment

* Obscene material
* Nudity or pornography
* Material that infringes intellectual property or other proprietary rights of any party
* Material the posting of which is tortious or violates a contractual or fiduciary obligation you or we owe to another party
* Piracy, hacking, viruses, worms, or warez
* Spam
* Any illegal content
* unapproved Commercial banner advertisements or revenue-generating links
* Any link to or any images from a site containing any material outlined in these restrictions
* Any material deemed offensive or inappropriate by the Board staff
12. Users are welcome to challenge other points of view and opinions, but should do so respectfully. Personal attacks on others will not be tolerated. Posts and threads with unacceptable content can be closed or deleted altogether. Furthermore, a range of sanctions are possible - from a simple warning to a temporary or even a permanent banning from ChessTalk.
Helping to Moderate
13. 'Report' links (an exclamation mark inside a triangle) can be found in many places throughout the board. These links allow users to alert the board staff to anything which is offensive, objectionable or illegal. Please consider using this feature if the need arises.
Advice for free
14. You should exercise the same caution with Private Messages as you would with any public posting.
WHO backpedals, now is against lockdowns! Time to end unjustified lockdowns based on fraudulent data! Lockdowns have profound consequences making" alot of poor people an awful lot poorer"
It is estimated that 100,000,000 people will succumb to extreme poverty/die around the world as a direct consequence of unjustified lockdowns. This and denying patients approved treatments that Dr's advocate in an outpatient setting hence an easily treatable viruis a nothing short of a crime against humanity.

Which is why I don't trust WHO, nor anything the Communists have to say in or about China. The only disinfectant against authoritarians is liberty.

... I would be willing to bet that although social distancing and quarantining people for the first month was a net positive, over time the deleterious effects of prolonged quarantine (isolation, depression, alcoholism/drug abuse, spousal abuse, lack of exercise, boredom, increased stress due to job/income loss) is going to at the very least negate much of this. You save one basket of people by sacrificing another.
On top of that the government has absolutely no right to extend the lockdown "for our protection". We are free citizens, and having voluntarily done our duty to allow government time to protect elderly and sickly people, have no reason to listen to them anymore. I consider it a matter of my public duty to go outside every day. Better to have people with robust immune systems get infected than have millions of people waiting, weakening, sitting around hoping things work out and "big daddy government" saves us. I refuse to live that way. ..."

LOL - flashback to when you ran the Ottawa chess message BBS. (or am I hallucinating?)
There was a place for vitriol and innuendo and direct threats! The good old days.
And I don't even want to know what you think about late term abortion.
Mayor Pete is in sync with how I feel about it. Don't know the date this interview took place - the date is not important from my perspective. Sorry about the resolution.

What about a scenario where the health of both the fetus and woman are good and she simply wants to abort late in the third trimester? Pete's reply sound's like a straw man argument?

I don't think his argument was a straw man but he certainly neglected to address this case, as did I. I would be strongly opposed to abortions under the circumstances you describe.

Hospital admissions and deaths are now very low compared to March-June, The only thing we have right now is a "casedemic" using fake metrics via an overly sensitive PCR test. The pandemic is over and has been for some time.
I might have bought into this argument 2 months ago when Ontario and Quebec were reporting less than 100 cases per day and the numbers were still declining. However today the case numbers are almost 10 times larger and death rates are now starting to climb. The people doing the tests have not changed the amplification rate compared to August. The only significant change is that we are performing more tests per day compared to March-June, and people are submitting for tests sooner instead of later.

The amplification rates have been way too high all along. nothing to do with changing them. That is well documented. As far as deaths going up what age demographic is the group? 81% of deaths in Canada when I last checked were at elder care facilities and nursing homes. The virus is easily treatable on early on set of symptoms.What is criminal is the way this was handled in nursing homes.
For example Quercetin Zn2+ D3 + C works prophylacticaly as well as for early onset of symptoms. These are dietary supplements that can be purchased at any vitamin shop. The antiviral properties of this combo have been known for many years with the influenza virus, iZka virus , H1N1 virus and now COVID ,Simply distributing this to as many eldercare facilities as soon as possible would be useful for the Flu or COVID.
How do COVID hospital admissions compare to from March-June? How do deaths compare between March and June. You say they are "climbing," however are these remotely comparable to March-June levels? Pandemic over does not equal zero COVID DEATHS or Hospital admissions just like FLU Pandemic over does not equal zero flu deaths or flu hospital admissions.
The pattern I see is discouraging people from boosting their immune system and early treatment in an outpatient seeting. Motive appears to be bigpharma corrupting the scientific community and govts to put in practices that prolong the "pandemic" long enough to sell vaccines.
Politicians like Doug Ford, Justin Trudeau or Trump for that matter are all scientifically illiterate so it is very easy for them to get duped into the idea that rushed vaccines is the solution and convince them that a pandemic is going on when it is a case demic. The last thing bigpharma wants is a cheap solution that works early, completely ruining their vaccine business, not just COVID but Flu as well. Meanwhile Bigphama holds the world hostage with lockdowns and masks until the vaccine comes as per the chief vaccine salesman himself Bill Gates.
I saw something very wrong when Lancet and NEJM are retracting antihcq articles that were clearly fraudulent sponsored by bigpharma. The reason they were retracted is they were outed by amateur investigators on social media. Unprecedented in medical history that peer reviewed medical publications are outed by a amateurs. These fake studies sponsored by Gilead/Astra Zenica with expensive competing products.
Stay healthy, do your own due diligence and boost your immune system sooner rather than later!
There are so many falsehoods in the two articles you just posted that I have lost count. Please do some critical thinking
on your own rather than mindlessly cutting and pasting ridiculous articles.

Waste of time. if you haven't figured out that it is an easily treatable virus on early onset of symptoms and
Govt interference in a Dr Patient relationship to deal with this is a crime against humanity we have nothing
further to discuss.
